At Kings Oak Hospital, you can access private hand and wrist surgery in Enfield with prompt appointments, specialist assessment, and consultant-led care. Our experienced orthopaedic surgeons diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions affecting the bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and soft tissues of the hand and wrist.
Our aim is to reduce pain, restore movement, and help you regain confidence in using your hands as comfortably and effectively as possible.
Your treatment will be led by an experienced consultant orthopaedic surgeon with expertise in hand and wrist conditions.
During your consultation, your specialist will discuss your symptoms, examine your hand or wrist, and review any previous treatments or investigations. They'll explain your diagnosis clearly and recommend the treatment options most appropriate for your individual needs.
Every hand and wrist condition is different, which is why your treatment plan is tailored specifically to you.
Whether you require non-surgical treatment, a minimally invasive procedure, or more complex surgery, you'll receive comprehensive support throughout your treatment and rehabilitation to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
Hand and wrist surgery is a specialist area of orthopaedics that focuses on treating conditions affecting the complex structures of your hand, fingers, thumb, and wrist.
Surgery may be recommended to relieve pain, restore movement, repair injuries, improve function, or correct structural abnormalities that cannot be managed effectively with conservative treatment alone.
Many procedures are performed using minimally invasive techniques where appropriate, helping to reduce recovery times while achieving excellent functional outcomes.
The cost of your surgery will depend on various factors, including the details of the procedure and which consultant you choose. We’ll give you a full itemised quote before you book.
You can choose to fund your treatment through self-pay (paying for yourself) or use private health insurance. We work with most major providers, and our friendly advisory team can help guide you through using your cover.
Our flexible payment options help you spread the cost of your payment across a time period that suits you. We offer fixed-term monthly payment plans over one to five years with no deposit required. If you decide to pay over 10 months, you will pay interest-free. If you are paying for a longer period, you will pay 9.9% APR.
Our orthopaedic surgeons diagnose and treat a wide range of hand and wrist conditions.
Common conditions include:
Your consultant will carefully assess your symptoms before recommending the most appropriate treatment for your condition.
Not every hand or wrist condition requires surgery.
Many patients benefit from conservative treatments such as splinting, physiotherapy, activity modification, pain-relieving medication, or corticosteroid injections. These treatments can often reduce pain, improve function, and delay or eliminate the need for surgery.
Your consultant will always discuss non-surgical options where appropriate before recommending an operation.
The type of surgery recommended will depend on your diagnosis, symptoms, and treatment goals.
Carpal tunnel release surgery relieves pressure on the median nerve as it passes through your wrist.
It is commonly recommended when numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain caused by carpal tunnel syndrome does not improve with conservative treatment. The procedure is often performed as a day case and many patients experience significant symptom relief.
Trigger finger surgery releases the tendon that is causing your finger or thumb to catch or lock during movement.
The procedure is usually straightforward and can help restore smoother movement while reducing pain and stiffness.
Ganglion cysts are fluid-filled swellings that commonly develop around the wrist or hand.
If a cyst is painful, interferes with movement, or continues to return after aspiration, surgical removal may be recommended.
Injuries to the tendons or ligaments of your hand or wrist can significantly affect movement and grip strength.
Surgery may be required to repair damaged structures and restore normal function, particularly following sports injuries, accidents, or trauma.
For advanced arthritis or severe joint damage, surgery may involve replacing or fusing affected joints to reduce pain and improve stability.
Your consultant will explain which procedure is most suitable based on the severity of your condition and your functional goals.
Surgery is generally considered when your symptoms continue despite appropriate non-surgical treatment or when an injury requires surgical repair.
You may benefit from surgery if you have persistent pain, numbness, weakness, reduced grip strength, loss of movement, or a condition that is progressively affecting your ability to carry out everyday tasks.
Your consultant will explain the expected benefits, possible risks, and likely recovery time before you decide whether surgery is right for you.
Recovery varies depending on the procedure you undergo and your individual circumstances.
Many hand and wrist operations are performed as day-case procedures, allowing you to return home on the same day.
You may need to wear a splint or dressing while healing takes place, and some temporary swelling or stiffness is normal during the early stages of recovery.
Physiotherapy or hand therapy may be recommended to help restore movement, strength, and flexibility while supporting your long-term recovery.
Most patients gradually return to work, driving, hobbies, and everyday activities over several weeks, although recovery times vary depending on the procedure performed.
Your consultant will provide personalised guidance on when you can safely resume different activities and how to protect your hand or wrist as it heals.
Following your rehabilitation programme carefully can help maximise your recovery and reduce the risk of future problems.
